'''Knockout''' is inactivation of specific [[gene]]s. Knockouts are often created in laboratory organisms such as yeast or mice so that scientists can study the knockout organism as a model for a particular disease. This process can only be understood, and was discovered, utilizing the [[theory of evolution]]. Scientists detect [[homologous]] genes in different species, and use that knowledge to knockout the gene of a similar species to test effect. This is what is called [[verifiable evidence]].
